[Verse 1] They called her Little Wild Thang, ridin’ shotgun in his rig, Her daddy, Wild Thang, the trucker, big heart and dreams so big. From state lines to gravel roads, his laugh would fill the air, Every diner stop, every diesel hum, her life was with him there. [Chorus] Little Wild Thang, they’d say her name, When they’d see her in that cab, she never felt ashamed. But when the miles took her far, and the years grew long, She lost the sound of her daddy’s song. [Verse 2] When he passed, she packed her life, moved to some big town, Put her memories in a storage box, where the weight wouldn’t drag her down. But thieves don’t know the cost of things, they only see what’s gold, They stole her past, and in their hands, her story turned so cold. [Prechorus] She cried for the scent of leather seats, The crackle of his voice in a smoky beat. [Chorus] Little Wild Thang, they’d say her name, When they’d see her in that cab, she never felt ashamed. But when the miles took her far, and the years grew long, She lost the sound of her daddy’s song. [Bridge] One night she stumbled on a voice, a stranger on a screen, Joey Whispers, smooth and low, it cut right through the scene. It wasn’t him, but it was close, a tone she’d always know, And in that voice, her daddy lived, through every word it showed.
